"Resolution Painting repaired and painted my 1400 sq foot lower level. If you want high quality work with attention to detail, done promptly, completed on schedule, by courteous staff at a fair price, then look no further. I will hire again when I have additional painting needs. I highly recommend!"

"Ferney Leal had done such a great job at my house, I hired him and his company to put down peel-and-stick vinyl tiles in my mother's basement. Once again, he was an excellent communicator, sending me updates, photos and videos of the work-in-progress as he went along. He was always there when he said he would be. When putting the original estimate together, he noticed some of the floor moulding had been removed so he offered to replace it. The basement looks great! My mother's favorite part is that he and his helpers would sing while they worked. She loved it! I will definitely use Leal services again when I need more remodeling and handyman work done at my house or my mom's."

"Mr Mendez has done countless projects in my house including interior painting and limewashing, chandelier and pendant light installation, wood panel building and installation, closet remodeling, exterior painting and deck staining, and more. He and Jose are always professional and timely. They are persistent in getting the job done right and every project they have completed in my house has been done at a high quality level. There is a reason I have gone back to them for numerous projects and recommend them to anyone in need of their own home projects. Highly recommend!"

"I am very happy with the work done by Rodas painting company The job was performed in 2 days. They showed up each day on time. They were careful protecting all the areas from getting dirty. Rogelio Rodas was profesional, his estimate was reasonable. I will rehire his company again for any future painting projects"

"Great experience from receiving quote to revising estimates to getting the job done. Quality was excellent and professional. There were a few places where paint had gotten onto our wood trim and they were able to get it cleaned up immediately. Only area for improvement was estimating how much paint was needed. We had to make 3 trips to the paint store over 2 days because they kept needing more paint!"

FAQs for small projects painting or staining projects in Fairfax, VA

You'll need about two gallons of paint to fully cover your kitchen cabinets with two coats. Since each gallon covers around 350 square feet, it's a good idea to measure your cabinets or use a paint calculator to determine exactly how much you'll need. Starting with one or two coats of primer and then applying two to three layers of paint will give you a flawless, durable finish. Using high-quality paint can reduce the number of coats needed and provide a long-lasting finish.

The best type of paint for your kitchen cabinets is latex paint because it applies evenly and creates a durable finish. If you're painting wood surfaces and need extra adhesion, acrylic paint is a great alternative. We don't recommend oil-based paint for residential use due to its VOC emissions. For finishes, go with eggshell, semi-gloss, gloss, or satin, as matte finishes aren't as durable or as easy to clean.

The best method for painting kitchen cabinets is spray painting because it gives you a smooth, even finish without brush strokes. While brushes and rollers can work, they often leave marks and require more effort. If you're aiming for a professional look, spray painting is your best bet to enhance the beauty and durability of your cabinets.
